Renai Hunter :: Morning Musume's 49th

[Shoujo Q]

And I present to you all, Concert Rip of the awesome, the mega ultra amazing [url="http://youtu.be/ip4EzI_FQIU"]Renai Hunter[/url]. (PyokoPyoko Ultra this is NOT!)



I can't wait to see the dance for this, seems there's a lot of talk about it. (I know I shouldn't get excited about it, but I can't help it! It sounds so much better the PyokoPyoko.)

[BonkyuAsh]

The return of Robo Sayu!

I can't judge much of anything with that recording though :/. I hear a lot of Riho, Risa, and Reina though.

[Shoujo Q]

I updated with a clearer rip I found on H!O. Hope that's better.

[BonkyuAsh]

Yeah that rip is a lot better.

It's back to the mature musume that I love, but can Riho please learn how to not yell sing? She doesn't belt out her notes, she yells.

Somehow some of the musical breaks remind me of dub step.

UFA has done kicked the video off youtube

[Shoujo Q]

Old one still works.

[andrewmarlin]

Thanks, it was the first one must be the better version.

[Melon]

Yeah, I'm gonna lurve this release from the start and not grow into it like Pyoco. Fifth gen got some awesome grad songs. Hehe, I'm looping the concert rip like I looped Fuyuzora. Ugh, I may have to buy the physical release for this!



lol is there dubstep in my musume?

Well, that's the problem. She HAS to yell to get those notes out. She doesn't have the vocal power to do it by singing. I bet she'll be talking like an old man again after this concert.

Doesn't that ruin your vocal chords? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> Ugh, UFA I'm disappointed in you. I thought you would've taken care of her after the last tour. What's the point in bringing in a vocal coach for auditions if it's "fukitol" after?

[Shoujo Q]

I was hoping they would have given the 10th gen some more lines kinda like Only You, but I was sadly mistaken. I guess Tsunku doesn't think the 10th gen are ready to handle solo lines yet?

[Anderei]

I just assumed it was the traditional 'only front girls get lines' situation, rather than 10th gen's lack of ability.



Renai Hunter sounds a LOT like another song, and I can't think of what it is.

[mrsross]

I'm loving the song. If it sounds this awesome in the concert rip, then I can't wait to actually hear the song. Did anybody else hear somebody sounding like Ai in the song?

[Shoujo Q]

It's fun trying to just find links that work. Here's a new one. (If that doesn't work, try this one.)

[Banana]

I love it!!! And I loved it on the very first listen, too, which doesn't happen to me very often. Part of the song seems really familar; maybe that's why I like it so much. I'm sad that there are no lines for Haruka, but maybe next time. With Risa gone, they're going to need her awesome singing skills. Anyway, I think this could be one of the best MM singles (for me) in years. It totally makes up for Pyoko Pyoko.

[Shoujo Q]

The more I hear a lack of 10th gen it makes me wonder if they are doing with them what they did with the 4th gen and 5th gen. You know, keeping them in the background and not letting them do much. At least that's the only reason I can see why they wouldn't be breaking them in yet. Even in the new concert they don't get much to sing. (At least from what I can hear.)

[BonkyuAsh]

^

9th gen barely sung in their first MM concert. I think they'll get more attention in songs once Risa is gone. Or at least I hope so, I don't want MM to become a Riho/Reina fest.

[Shoujo Q]

Yeah but 9th gen didn't have a whole H!P concert before their debut Musume concert under their belt like the 10th gen do. I'm expecting great things for the 50th single at this rate since they are keeping them under wraps.



This single is a good start. I just hope Tsunku didn't use up all his good song points on this one.

[rallyleo]

Holy shit. Though this is only a rip, it sounds like a total first-rate Musume song. I'm so happy my Risa is going to be going out on a high note! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



I'm loving the random dubstep inspired instrumental breaks. If I were to get my hopes up, I'd be praying to see an edge to Morning Musume that has never been seen before...



...Then again history demonstrates that about %50 of the PV will just be Reina winking and looking at the camera as innocently as possible, with Sayu and Riho standing next to her on either side in the dance shot front and center the entire time in front of Risa - who is dancing in the background with the rest of the 10th Gen not being noticed despite the good deal of solo lines she has. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':frown:' />



I'm not jaded at all! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

I didn't hear them, either, except in the songs that were 9th/10th gen exclusive. It was pretty disappointing. At least everyone in 9th gen got featured in a special performance in their first Morning Musume concert (Moonlight Night, Rainbow Pink, Sungoi My Birthday). 10th gen didn't even get to sing Suki na Senpai all the way through.

[Enmiz]

YESSSSS! This sounds so promising! Robo Sayu is great! I'm not sure how I feel about the Optimus Prime and Megatron orgy in the background, but this is freakin' sweet. I have the desire to overuse exclamation points after listening to the concert rip. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

[tsukinobyouin]

I don't know how you guys get so much out of concert rips, so far I'm just hearing a lot of noise. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' /> That's not to say I think it's bad or good, I just can't ever get a read on songs from concert rips.



I do hope that what sounds like Optimus Prime, as Enmiz awesomely put it, inspires some high precision rapid-fire dance moves. You know, that challenge Tsunku mentioned. I can dream. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[Shoujo Q]

You should have heard the first rip, it was a beautiful thing. Not a wota in the whole rip. But it disappeared as quickly as it came. :<



Oh and one of the other links is down. Time for new one. It's clear enough that I can hear all the solos including RoboSayu.

[Anderei]

Concert rips would be massively improved without the Aika and Reina wota, because those bastards never shut up. They're the worst.



Single outfits, courtesy of Aika's blog:

[Shoujo Q]

Shiny!



They are really into this separation of generations kick lately huh?



This is a nice group photo. How many bets on a lame-ass group photo for the official single shot?



I want Masaki to break out of her shell. She's got a little fire cracker like Eripon in her I know it. Rock on girl! The V is so last season!

[Anderei]

Hopefully they update the profile soon, because I'm over the Pyoko shots.



These outfits are like the really ugly ones on the cover of Mr. Moonlight, only much better.

[Shoujo Q]

Maybe that was intentional, considering this is Risa's last single? But if the album covers come out half as interesting as the Mr.Moonlight ones I'll be surprised.



As an aside, looking at the album cover for Mr.Moonlight they did a generational thing with the stars on the collar being different for each generation. (Yay fun fact!)



....



If she does Popcorn Love as her song I'm going to hurt Risa.

[neshcom]

Uh-oh, this is sounding eurobeat. This is the slippery slope, people. Yeah, it's got the Tsun-krillex SFX thing and a dubstep moment, but this shit is eurobeat. Listen to that main synth.



That said, it's one of MM's best songs in a loooong time.



The PV will be shite, though. Calling it now.

[cadmonkey]

Hearing everyone talk about the dubstep element of the song worried me, but after listening to it, I actually like how it sounds. I was probably going to buy the single anyways, but now I have a reason beyond it being Risa's last song.



And that pic up there is awesome. Rock on, Masaki! \m/

[Pucchi-Mo]

Takahashi, I still hear you. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



The first few seconds remind me of the dance break of Only you. It has the same robotic factory feel to it.



Okubo's arrangement work, definitely. He's done at least one track on every MM single since Seishun Collection. That's seven singles including this one, and there's almost two more, but Onna ga Medatte interrupts it. (he also has a bunch of stuff on the recent albums)
